The Turning Goodbye Lyrics

Through the sky
an image is turning
of drying bones
a life that was burning

the hair is all grey
his hopes are diminished
the face but a shadow
of a life long finished

we live and we die
separated by fate
separated by time
and still are the same

the turning goodbye
barriers and chains
to search and not find
it still is the way
a memory sharp
it brightens the day
and ever the song
a wish to remain

lower the voice
and speak softly of others
the ones that we've missed
our sisters and brothers

the spirit is yearning
it knows how to take
expectations are high
and the world keeps on turning

the turning
the turning
the turning goodbye
